Christian proclamation should have criticized the Western ideology of freedom by telling the public that having choices doesn't mean freedom. The alcohol-addicted person or the drug-addicted person is also making choices. The problem is that he or she always makes the same choice - to take the drug or drink the bottle - again and again. Having choices doesn't yet guarantee freedom.
